App Server for phone apps (lemmy.world)

60 million apps keep getting pushed on us, and everyone wants their own... Every restaurant, gorcery store, etc.

Would it not be feasible to install all of those Kroger, Gas Stations, bloat, bloat, bloat apps on an app Server that we just have a remote access to them like a thin client from our phone in a singular app of shortcuts (look like a folder, directory) So all the apps stay installed and don't use resources on the phone. Which keeps storage requirements down on the local device and means when you go into another device you can just log in and have access to all the apps already signed in and how you left them.

Does anyone know if there is already such a setup?

It wouldn't work well with things like streaming services, but it could still cover a lot of day to day apps I don't really want to have to have on my device.

They invented this ages ago, it’s called a website :/

The funny thing is 90% of these crapps are just web wrappers, and 90% of the time its a SAAS portal they have just customised with a logo.

I asked my gym if there 'app' had a website. After they said no I did some digging and found it. Put a web launcher on my home screen (or use hermit/aNative) and done.

Fuck restaurants though. I'm not doing a table QR code, paying EXTRA (50 cent fee), giving you data thats not needed ... And then going to the counter to ask where my oder is. I've seen this first hand and its ridiculous. Maybe MAYBE you can tempt me with a 10% discount. Having saved thst on not printing menus and staff not taking orders. Did I say fuck restaurants?
